## Summary

The London Borough of Ealing is initiating a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Health and Social Work Services, including Domiciliary Care for adults and children, Extra Care, Day and Evening Opportunities for Adults, and Floating Support Services. This tender is currently in the planning stage, with market engagement set for August and September 2024.
